Adult Beginner Violinist | 2 Years Progression

Hi there, my name is Peter and I’m an adult beginner violinist from London. I first embarked on my violin journey during 2018 where I was self-taught for 2 years on a very on and off basis. During this time I was able to familiarise myself with the notes on the violin finger board. As a child I had piano lessons for 9 years and studied up to grade 6 (ABRSM). This gave me a slight advantage as I already had the knowledge of music theory and performance.
Learning the violin has always been something I’ve wanted to do, and from 2020 I decided to learn properly with a teacher (October 28th 2020). I wanted to prove that it is possible to learn the violin as an adult and that it really is NEVER too late to learn.
To this day I have been playing the violin for 2 years and 7 months and I created this video during my anniversary last year. I hope this video will inspire many others to pick up the violin or any other musical instrument.
If you would like to see more of my journey please follow me on my Instagram @peterquanmusic

Wow this is so impressive. I just bought a violin and got a teacher. My dream has always been to play the violin but I had this idea that it is too late. Now I just turned 30 and decided to go for my dream. This video got me so excited and you are playing many of the pieces I want to play 😍 Amazing work !!

Amazing, I'm glad you've decided to pick up the violin, it truly is an amazing journey. Honestly it is never too late to learn. I first picked up the violin when I was 26 and I'm turning 30 this year. To this day I'm still consistently playing and taking regular lessons 😄🎻

Thank you for showing us your progress on the violin during those 2 years. I am a 36-year-old person who has been learning the violin self-taught for 4 months. These videos help me get inspired and not despair. Could you include the list of songs you were learning in this video?

@jesusgilabertmartinez7222 5 ай бұрын

Now I'm trying to learn Minuet 1 by S.Bach. it's hard to sound very clean

@peterquanmusic 5 ай бұрын

No problem at all, I'm glad it inspired you 🙂 Most of the pieces I played in this video is from the Suzuki volumes. Any others are pieces from films, games etc. Ah yes the Minuet, I also struggled to make this sound clean. My teacher helped me out a lot with this which I was very grateful for. All the best with your journey! Please check out my other videos if you haven't already. I also recently uploaded my 3 years progression video 👍

Fantastic progress in just 2 years. I've been learning the violin entirely from scratch for 3 months now, and your video is very inspiring. Can you share what do you often practice in a session?

Incredible progress in 2 years, you had vibrato masted at 1 year! How long did you play before finding a teacher? I found I could only progress so far going the self-taught route (developed some bad habits also).

@peterquanmusic 9 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! I was self-taught on and off for about 2 years prior. I totally agree, I was afraid I would develop bad habits and decided to find a teach for professional guidance.

@@peterquanmusic Wow, 2 years is a long time learning on your own. I see you do play other instruments so you can read music and tell if your in or out of tune😉

What is the name of the piece you were playing at the 1yr 4 month mark please? I've been playing violin for 3 months now and this video is motivational and inspiring :)

@peterquanmusic 9 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for your kind words! It is from a famous Chinese song called "Ni Zen Me Shuo". I played this all by ear so unfortunately there aren't any music sheets I can share. 3 months wow! Keep going with it, you've embarked on a wonderful journey!
